Jeremy Carter – Speaker, Trainer and Executive Leadership Coach

Jeremy Carter is the CEO of Rapport Leadership International in Australia. After a successful corporate career and ten years as a leading business and executive coach and entrepreneur, Jeremy decided to bring Rapport Leadership International to Australia after attending one of their leadership training courses in the United States and seeing the transformational outcomes experienced by attendees at the course.

Leadership is as much an art as it is science. A leader will either hold a team back or stretch them to a whole new level. Developing your leadership skills is one of the fastest ways to improve results as it enables you to bring the best out of yourself and the people around you.

“Jeremy is one of a kind, a truly inspirational figure who gives incredible leadership talks and really engages a room. There are innumerable aspects to Jeremy that I could recommend; his calmness, coolness and focus, his ability to adapt to any room with any range of people that he must create a rapport with and does on a consistent basis and his selflessness in helping others. He has global experience and picks up information and actions it, his mind is always whirring. He does what he says and he lives his professional life the way he presents with great energy, intelligence, coolness and in a way that gives you amazing confidence in what he does. ”
